Barbara Eden, 78, Wears I Dream of Jeannie Costume at Life Ball With Bill Clinton

[HarveyDarkey]

/

I Dream of Jeannie fans' wish has been granted! Barbara Eden dressed up in the 1960s sitcom's iconic costume during the Life Ball 2013 in Vienna, Austria on Saturday, May 25.

The 78-year-old actress stepped out on the City Hall stage rocking the famous pink crop top, harem pants, and braided blonde hair. She even treated the audience with a performance of her signature head nod and wink, which magically brought out her new "Master."

Former President Bill Clinton, 66, stepped out on the stage and greeted Eden with a big smile on his face.

1. My first crush in 2nd grade! n/t

[Botany]

2. President Bill Clinton, 66, stepped out on the stage and greeted Eden with a big smile on his face.

Loves me some big dog!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

3. She looks pretty dern good.

[Rozlee]

4. I'm almost 30 years younger than she is and I wouldn't dare wear that outfit.

She'd be getting wolf-whistles and I'd be getting told to put some clothes on.

[drmeow]

10. Same here! :(

[bettyellen]

5. I wanted to grow up to be like her wild dark haired sister, LOL. And have a room that looked like

that bottle, but blue.

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. She had the coolest pad.

[PCIntern]

7. It would've been interesting if the character played by Larry Hagman

tried that "Oh no Jeannie, keep your hands off me" in TeeVee these days...the series wouldn't last three episodes.

Wow does she look great!

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. Awesome!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Love it! Big smile on MY face, too!

[Honeycombe8]

11. She looks amazing! How is that possible? You go, girl! nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Wait a minute! Do I see a navel there?

Scandalous! Scandalous, I tell you!

[Beaverhausen]

14. I was just going to post that

If I recall correctly she wasn't allowed to show it on the series.

[Buns_of_Fire]

18. Network censors had a hissyfit.

I guess they were afraid that young teenage boys would be aroused at the sight of a navel.

I imagine I probably would have been, but as a young teenage boy, Flipper in harem pants would have aroused me.

[SCVDem]

21. Bingo!

I figured someone would catch that also!

I was watching her on a UHF channel in Milwaukee in 1965.

I was 10 and she was hot!

Her and the accordion player on Polka Party.

[napkinz]

35. her own comments on the issue ...

[KittyWampus]

13. what perfect smiles the two have. They look like they're having a great time.

[juxtaposed]

15. life is good when Bill's around, Happy she's a bill fan..

[mick063]

16. One of the funniest shows ever but

It wouldn't go over now days. Then again, the FOX crowd would love it.

A woman that calls her man master, can get tucked away in a bottle when he wants to be alone, and grants his every wish.

She is Pat Robertson's dream girl. What the religious right considers the perfect sub servant.

Still, as a kid, I laughed very hard at the circumstance Major Nelson (Larry Hagman) was put in to. What made the show work is that she was rather uncontrollable at times when the Major tried to "contain" her.

I always thought "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Beverly Hillbillies" were the funniest shows ever put on television. I loved the original "Star Trek" as well. They just don't make shows like they used to.

[Skittles]

28. the performances on that show were flawless

OMG I watched a Beverly Hillbillies episode the other day - it always cracks me up how the wrath of granny absolutely terrifies the big strapping Jethro - inevitably she chases him with a frying pan

[awoke_in_2003]

17. Too bad Larry Hagman couldn't be there. nt

[SunSeeker]

19. Wow, she looks great! And we finally can see her navel!

[randome]

20. Kudos to Eden but now some Hollywood yahoo is going to remake 'I Dream Of Jeannie'!

I can see it coming. It's horrible! HORRIBLE!

22. My second greatest crush in the '60s

Loved her, loved Donna Douglas, and loved Thelma Lou, but ultimately I loved only one as a teen.

[longship]

23. Remember the episode where she inverted gravity?

That was a hoot.

R&K

[TlalocW]

24. I never got into I Dream of Jeannie

But I can always put in the DVD of, "Harper Valley PTA," and enjoy it. She was hot in that too.
